During the last 30 years our knowledge and understanding of
molecular processes has followed the development of increasingly
sophisticated tech niques for studying fast reactions. Although the
results are reported in papers and reviews, it is sometimes
difficult for those not themselves active in these fields to find
their way through the mass of published material. We hope that each
book in this series will present a clear account of the present
state of knowledge in a particular field of physical chemistry to
research workers in related fields, to research students, and for
the preparation of undergraduate and post-graduate lectures. Each
chapter describes the theoretical develop ment of one area of study
and the appropriate experimental techniques; the results presented
are chosen to illustrate the theory rather than to attempt a
comprehensive review. The first volume published in 1972 was
concerned with the reactions of small molecules and free radicals
in the gas phase. The development of flash photolysis in the 1950s
paved the way by making it possible to generate free radicals in
sufficient concentration for a spectroscopic" snapshot" to reveal
their molecular structure. Their role in kinetic systems could then
be followed directly, rather than be inferred from mechanism. The
shock tube enabled gas mixtures to be heated to any desired
temperature in a time which was shorter than subsequent chemical
reactions. Discharge-flow methods enabled the reactions of atoms
and free radicals to be studied directly."
